BT Sport have sometimes put the WEC on the red button.

Ta, saves paying for the WEC app coverage, in other news Jim Roller will be doing the commentary, shame he doesn't do the into the night slot on Radio Le Mans anymore

BT sport red button working grand, I had no idea they hid it on there, seeing as they don't tell anyone, I've been paying for the WEC app when it's not been on the main channels

BT Sport website is rubbish for WEC as doesn't show all channels and ignores it for videos

I was looking through my Sky TV guide last night and couldn't see anything. Well, save for an hour at 2300.

I'm already spitting feathers at having to pay £32 a month for BT Sport (long story for another day) Do you mean that I could have been watching WEC via the red button on a BT Sport Channel?

Well watched the last hour or so this morning after recording the eurosport offering. good to see Aston's and Rebellion get good results and a race not punctuated by full course yellows.

Interested to hear how you guys are watching the WEC since Eurosport are showing less and less these days.

My current set up is Motorsport.TV (£2.99 a month), however as they do not have an "app" and my Samsung TV will not play the videos from their web site I am having to run it on my phone and then link it to the TV via Smart View (screen mirroring). This doesn't work too badly but after a few hours I get issues where the picture freezes and the Audio will carry on until I pick the phone up and basically change it from land scape to portrait.

Does anyone use Chrome Cast? I am thinking that might be the way to go with my PC being upstairs.

I've got a Chromecast but it does seem to buffer regularly with motorsport.tv which it doesn't do with Youtube.

Not sure if the problem is down to my shoddy wifi, broadband or the website itself.

I use the FIA WEC app and their subscription. You can airplay/cast from it and the quality is always good, even on my crummy rural connection.

Until I found out about the red button BT Sport coverage I was using the WEC app and Chromecast, worked fine
